Feeding the birds is a wonderful winter hobby. Your favorite garden center has a full supply of bird seed, feeders and supplies perfect for gift giving this holiday season. When setting up your feeder, be sure to place it where you can see it from a window. You will be sure to enjoy it!

With the onset of winter and the possibility of heavy, wet snow accumulation, be prepared to brush snow from evergreen trees and shrubs before it freezes. Removing the weight of the snow before it has a chance to freeze, will help prevent winter storm damage to the branches. If evergreen branches get splayed by snow, tie them up.

Pot up bulbs of amaryllis and paperwhites for holiday gift giving.

When repotting houseplants, add a layer of pebbles in bottoms of larger pots to help improve air circulation; it is a must for containers without drainage holes. For small pots, use ½ inch of pebbles and for large pots, use up to 3â€? of pebbles.

Recycle or return used pots, which have been accumulating in the garage or the shed all season, to accepting nurseries.
